In this video, we explore the question of whether an Importer Security Filing (ISF) is required for welding positioners. The ISF, also known as the "10+2 rule," was implemented by US Customs and Border Protection to enhance cargo security. The ISF requires importers or their agents to provide specific information about their cargo before it arrives in the United States.

Welding positioners are commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and fabrication industries to manipulate and position workpieces during welding. Generally, welding positioners are not subject to filing an ISF unless they are combined with other cargo that requires filing.

However, if the welding positioners are part of a larger shipment that requires an ISF, then the ISF should include the necessary information for all the cargo, including the welding positioners. The ISF must be filed at least 24 hours before the vessel's departure from the foreign port.

To ensure compliance with ISF requirements, it is essential to work closely with a customs broker or a customs compliance expert. They can provide guidance on whether your welding positioners fall within the ISF requirements and assist with preparing the documentation accurately and timely.

In conclusion, filing an ISF for welding positioners is not required in most cases, unless they are part of a larger shipment that already requires an ISF. Consulting with a customs broker or a customs compliance expert is crucial to ensuring compliance with all necessary requirements for your specific import scenario.
